Subject: [flexcoders] Programmatically create MovieClip frames?
Hey all,
I have a bit of an odd question. I'm working on a project in
which I'd like to include some
somewhat intricate Flash animations... unfortunately... (sort
of)... I'm working on one of
those new MacBook Pros, with the Intel chip. No Flash 9 AS3
preview for me.
I'd like to keep moving on the project, but as you probably
know, Adobe is not shipping
(and therefor not making available for download?) the new Flash
CS3 until the end of April.
So I'm wondering, is it possible to add frames to a
programmatically created AS3
MovieClip, and then populate those frames dynamically? Will
nextFrame() called on the
last frame of a MovieClip still move the playhead?.. or return
some kind of error?.. or just
not do anything?
I'll be experimenting with all this stuff over the next couple
of days, trying to come up with
a solution, but if anyone knows anything I'd appreciate the
feedback.
Also, if you happen to know that there's no way to do what I'm
asking... and you happen to
have the Flash 9 AS3 preview... would you mind making a few
empty AS3 MovieClip SWFs?
To be safe, I think one each at 7, 14, 21, and 28 frames would
be great. That's not too
much trouble is it?
Okay, infinite thank yous in advance.
